Our starving souls have ne’er been fed; Oh! bring to us the Living Bread! 2 And broad Pacific’s shore Re-echoes with the call, From China wafted o’er, Beseeching one and all To kindle in the flowery clime The Lamp of Life, the Light divine. 3 And India’s myriad sons Stretch forth their dusky hands; Crying, O favored ones, Who dwell in Gospel lands, Send to our longing, thirsty souls The stream that with salvation rolls. 4 And shall we careless live With these great gifts in store? Nor from our fullness give To spread from shore to shore Glad tidings from the courts above Of our Immanuel’s boundless love? 5 Pardon our coldness, Lord! Our languid souls inspire. May Thy life giving Word Kindle a holy fire In every heart that owns Thy sway And hasten the millennial day! Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148TH

John Darwall

1732 - 1789 Composer of "DARWALL'S 148TH" in The Cyber Hymnal John Darwall (b. Haughton, Staffordshire, England, 1731; d. Walsall, Staffordshire, England, 1789) The son of a pastor, he attended Manchester Grammar School and Brasenose College, Oxford, England (1752-1756). He became the curate and later the vicar of St. Matthew's Parish Church in Walsall, where he remained until his death. Darwall was a poet and amateur musician. He composed a soprano tune and bass line for each of the 150 psalm versifications in the Tate and Brady New Version of the Psalms of David (l696). In an organ dedication speech in 1773 Darwall advocated singing the "Psalm tunes in quicker time than common [in order that] six verses might be sung in the same space of time that four generally are."
